The 1999-2000 school year was an eventful one for the College's normally quiet campus. These are some of last year's top stories.

While most students were enjoying time off from school, administrators here were hard at work improving the College. Here are some of the most notable and praiseworthy improvements we noticed on campus.

The first thing to catch the eye while leaving the UC is the new terrace that has been created on the way toward the Crim Dell. We hope this outdoor relaxation place will become a convenient meeting spot on campus and a great place for people-watching on a sunny day.

Empty and naked, a dorm room resembles a cell more than it does a home. When properly furnished and organized, however, students can often find themselves very comfortable in their new living space.

With age comes experience, and experience is the key to setting up your room. Upperclassmen have some of the finer looking establishments because they have had time to figure out what works in a room and what doesn't. Generally freshmen arrive in one of two fashions: overloaded with more stuff than they have room or with simply the bare necessities. Either way, throughout the year their room is sure to go through many changes.

From the producer who brought us "Armageddon," "Top Gun" and "Con Air" comes a funny, sweet romantic comedy. Well, not exactly. Once upon a time, Jerry Bruckheimer also spearheaded a little movie called "Flashdance," and with "Coyote Ugly" he returns to those smaller, more character-driven movies (rather than those driven by large nuclear devices).

Of course, Bruckheimer and director David McNally (best known for those Clydesdale Bud ads) are masters of the fine art of casting sex (hence Tom Cruise and Ben Affleck in their respective "hello-I'm-hot" roles). In "Coyote Ugly" the attractions are the Coyotes, sexy, scantily dressed bartenders of the eponymous bar, all young, gorgeous women dressed in a skimpy combination of Contempo Casuals and Bebe. Somewhere behind all the nubile flesh, leather and alcohol is a plot, a thin reworking of Bruckheimer's '80s hit "Flashdance."
